[Chorus]
I've carried this torch much too long
And the flame is still burning strong
Ever since you left me here alone
I've carried this torch much too long

[Verse 1]
If some miracle should change your mind
And you come for the love you left behind
You know that I won't ask you where you been
Just come on home and let me live again

[Chorus]
I've carried this torch much too long
And the flame is still burning strong
Ever since you left me here alone
I've carried this torch much too long

[Outro]
I've carried this torch much too long
